Ex-leeds and Wales soccer star Terry Yorath was given a 12-month community rehabilitation order and fined £500 at Leeds Magistrates' Court today after he admitted being more than three times the drink-drive limit when he knocked down and injured a young woman.

The 54-year-old was also banned from driving for 30 months and ordered to pay £40 costs.

Yorath, whose daughter Gabby Logan was fronting ITV's coverage of England's Euro 2004 clash with Portugal at the time, described the incident as "the worst thing that's ever happened to me".

The former Wales coach was driving his Jaguar X-type in Leeds on June 24 when he mounted the central reservation and hit 27-year-old Raziya Aslam, who suffered head and pelvis injuries.

Yorath was found to have 120 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The maximum permitted is 35.

Yorath, assistant manager at Huddersfield Town, admitted driving with excess alcohol and driving without due care and attention.
